7 That if it has a problem that will cause it to fail soon in it's life,
8 then I can find it soon. Remember that curve about failures? I would
9 like to get past that first part of the curve. Maybe by the time I get
10 to the later part, I'll have another drive or some backup scheme. Most
11 the failures I have read about in reviews for this drive were early or
12 was just plain old DOA. Testing it will get me past that. I'd rather
13 it fail before I get my data on it instead of after.
